Basic definition: A long-term plan in chess, such as exploitation of weak pawns and weak pawn structures, king-side attack, creation of a pawn majority, creation of knight outpost, Bishop vs Knight Supremacy, trading into a winning endgame, etc. that allows one side to gain an advantage over the other opponent if played correctly.
Defined best by Harry Golombek, chess strategy, or planning, is "the process by which a player utilizes the advantages and minimizes the drawbacks of his position. In order to promise success, planning is thus always based on a diagnosis of the existing characteristics of a position; it is therefore most difficult when the position is evenly balanced, and easiest when there is only one plan to satisfy the demands of the position."
According to International Master Jeremey Silman, the existing characteristics, also called imbalances, preferably assessed by experienced chess players to create an ideal plan are:
1. Superiority of Minor Pieces
2. Pawn Structure
3. Space
4. Material Advantage
5. Control of a key file or square
6. Lead in development
7. Initiative
"Figure out the side of the board you wish to play on. You can only play where a favorable imbalance or the possibility of creating a favorable imbalance exists. Only now do you look at the moves you wish to calculate." --- IM Jeremy Silman.
Dude, listen to this chess strategy I used against Mr. Limbian: I traded my c-pawn for his d-pawn to make his e-pawn an isolated, weak d-pawn, then I piled up my big pieces against that pawn and finally won it. I wanted use the principle of two weaknesses on him, but he barely had any understanding of chess so it didn't matter. The rest of the game was easy; trade all pieces and win the end game. It ended up in a king and pawns vs king and pawns ending, but he understood absolutely nothing about opposition or trianglulation. I basically killed him after that. What an amateur! Want to see the game?

A term for a complex situation or problem that requires strategy or thought to solve.
War, politics, and relationships are games of chess.

The term "play chess" is usually a way to get someone up to your apartment, like the class line, "Do you want some coffee" at the end of the date at your apartment building. No one believes you will play chess, but it's such a lame excuse that will work. Clinically proven.
"Want to come up and play chess?"

Chesse ball, not to be confused with "cheese ball". In the online world, a derogatory term used to tear your opponent down and deflate his ego. The most hurtful thing you can possibly say to a fellow gamer. Chesse ball is not to be used lightly. Chesse ball can be used to describe people who run out the back of the endzone on kickoffs, run 238 half back screens per game, and generally succeed in all facades of being a complete and total ass hole.
Wes: Damn this guy keeps running all of this gimmicky shit on me.
Zach: Yeah he's being a huge chesse ball right now
an exceedingly poor strategy in the game of life in which a thoughtless player copies a veteran player's move exactly, and immediately after seeing it for the first time, with no awareness of timing, set-up, individual motivations, experience, maturity, playing field, opponent or any factor what so ever that led the initial player to use this precise move, at that precise moment, to obtain a very precise result.
It is laughable how consistently Tisha plays Nigger Chess due to her inability, to learn from her own and think for herself.

A small neighborhood in Greenwich Village, New York City, located on Thompson Street, between Bleecker Street and West 3rd Street. It is named for the plethora of 24-hours per day chess shops and on-street chess boards that line the street.
Overheard on the NYC subway: "You're a NYU student? Where do you live?" "Yup. I have a tiny apartment in the chess ghetto."
